Looking - Season 1

[oddbox83]

Looking (he he) to pick this up after hearing good things. Had it preordered with Zavvi but they can't be bothered to post it it seems. Does anyone know what HMV are selling it for? If it's reasonable I'll cancel my online order and pop along to my local store. Thanks.

It's £22.99 in HMV. I bought it today.

It's a good show, but 23 quid for 8 x 25 minute eps is outrageous.

I'll get it when it hits a tenner.

Thanks. I've got one too now.

The thing though, as I'm sure you know, if everyone did that, season 2 is guaranteed to be released on DVD only.

I'm sure there a few fans of FX's The Americans that would like to contradict you there...

It's HBO you'll be waiting a while. It took a year for Veep S1 to hit a tenner for a few days, and 2 for it to stay there...

While I was in HMV I managed to convince myself to pay £18 for Spirited Away, rather than waiting for it to drop in price, and then discovered all four copies had damaged slipcases. I generally don't mind paying full price for blu-rays but full price catalogue title + damage is something I'm still getting to grips with.

I can understand why people would be reluctant to pay £22.99 for Looking. It's only 2 discs and there are no special features, apart from commentaries, to act as a sweetener. In the age of catch up TV blu-ray distributors need to raise their game.

I'm looking forward to season two. I'm hoping for more Doris, Riche and Frank.

HBO prices are a joke. I know their quality is fantastic, but still not enough to warrant the price tags they charge.
